Ending the year brought a final finish or two, not only for the year, but in my stitching!

This canvas is “My Hat Collection” by Point of It All Designs. 3 Halloween Hats that are just painted in the middle of it all.

What a purr~fect canvas to use some of the new colors of Planet Earth Silk Ribbon! Evening Shade, Yellow Brick Road and Creepy are 3 new ones that were introduced around Halloween.

I really do love, love, love this ribbon! Great to work with, beautiful colors and comes in widths of 4mm, 7mm and 10mm. I am especially enamored with the way the edges of the ribbon are painted darker.

It is Saturday morning, so you know what that means! Time for breakfast at The Cottage and especially now that Santa brought me a gift card for me to use for my visits there. I need a pair of stretcher bars for one of my new projects…I need a 20″ and do you think that I had 1 unused pair in that length? Of course not!

It is still way tooooooooooooooooooo cold here! I hope and pray that the farming industry doesn’t suffer too much damage from the morning frosts as it is read about 28 when I got up…brrr. But I hear that in a few days it will be beach weather again. Go figure!

See it’s even cold for the kitties!

and until next time…keep on stitching
